: From the AP (also seen on CNN):
: CHICAGO (AP) — A minivan crashed into the glass exterior wall of a downtown TV studio, jarring the building and startling the anchorman delivering the 10 p.m. news.
Punishment time!
Anyone remember Gerald Richardson?
He's the 25-year-old Evanston man who allegedly crashed his van into the studios of WLS-Channel 7 Dec. 23 because he "wanted to be on the news." It happened at the start of the ABC-owned station's 10 p.m. newscast.
No one was injured, but weekend news anchor Ravi Baichwal was, to say the least, startled.
Here's the latest: On Friday, Richardson was indicted on one count of felony criminal damage.
